only two genera, the Nelumbium Spe.

The Verdict in tn. ch.t.worth Disaster.

The jury made out separate verdicts for
each OF the victims. Mrs. DR.. Ducketts is
the first name on the list. The following
N the verdict OF the jury OH her death.
We find that the wrecking of the said
train, which totally demolished eight
coaches, one baggage car and one engine.
and either killed or wounded most OF the
occupants OF said coaches, was caused by
said bridge having been burned out be-.
lore the train struck it. We think
from the evidence that the bridge was fired
from fires left burning, which had been set
a. late as o'clock that afternoon by the
section mon, as close az sixteen feet on
both the east and west sides Of the track.
We further find that the foreman dissection
IS, Timothy Coughlin, disobeyed positive
orders from the superintendent, the last
thing on Wednesday, and we find that he
did not 60 over the west two and one.half
miles at all on Wednesday, as instructed,
and that said foreman was guilty Of gross
burning along the track in such dry sea-
son with such a strong wind blowing.
We recommend that he be held
for examinations by the grand jury; and,
further, it is the opinion Of the jury that
the leaving OF the track without being pa
troled for six hours before the passage of
the excursion train and the setting OF fires
by the section men on such dry and
windy day were acts which deserve severe
criticism.
Coughlin was promptly arrested and
will be taken to Pontiac, the county seat
Of Livingston county. He says he cannot
give bail, and will have to 60 to jail. He
insists that the verdict was nnjust that
he went over his entire section as ordered.
and that no fires were built as hear the
bridge as Heald and Taggert testified.

The increased comforts and dimip.
ashed expenses Of bachelor life is one
reason, Julian Magnus thinks in the
Epoch. why married life finds fever
devotees every year, and a second is
the over worship to which we have
accustomed our women. In regard
10 these things he says that the So
ciety young lady wants to begin her
married life on the same scale that
her parents are ending theirs-as usu-
ell, putting the whole blame upon the
1woman." Perhaps the pride and
selfishness of the man have somewhat
to blame in the matter.

10th inst, just after the passengers had
retired for the night. The vessel was then
In latitude 43 degrees. The alarm was at
once given and the passengers rushed from
their births for the deck, half dressed.
When it was realized that the fire was q
serious one, the course OF the ship was
changed about and shaped Tor Newfound-

was passed that it was impossible to save
the vessel, and all attention was given to
lowering the boats and saving the pas.

war in that part of the world is not

by the aged Emperor William, who Is
absolute with the German army, but
trouble is likely to break out upon

The only way to avoid war, in Mr..
